Thats a first-year LS1, which is not usually what you want to get into. The corvette stuff is pretty much specific to 'vettes. Front pulleys are all 'vette setup, the trans is 'vette only, the computer is different....all in all just NOT worth it for a swap vehicle IMO
(unless that swap vehicle could retain the tq tube setup and IRS from the vette, then it would be cool).

You can get the truck motors cheaper and far more readily, genIII or gen IV. If you want to stay all aluminum for weight, there are options for that as well.
